Story of a London Cobbler.
In the rear oniiespUndidtown resid
ence of Lord L , a. d facing on a
much humbler b rect (for In larc cities
like Loudon, it is impossible for wealth
to avoid being jostled occasionally by
povcity). dwelt an industrious son of
St. Crispin.
Now, it happened, nstho caseoftcn is,
that the shoemaker was the father of a
family a'most numerous enough to qual
ify him for the responsible 'berth of a
ttnrtali lir't In .mil lioltir 1 1 1 ( fitlinrn;
eight-It required a continuous exert on
of ills physical powers to procure them
tlio ausoiuto ncccs lines oi me. iiew.H,
of cour. e, necessitated to work early and ,
laic ; and the rat-a-tat-tat of the shoe-
maker's hammer, long be'orc light in
the morniinr. naturally disturbc I tin
family of Lord L . who were of that
unfortunate class who arc compelled I y
the requirements of fashionable s ciety
to convert niglit into day.
Lord L "would have slept soundly
under the verysncrtof a loeomotlve,but
his lady was unluckily the possessnrof
one of those intense ncrvo j tempera
ments which nnturally lecoil at any
thing approaching the hum-drum eon
lu ion of plcbe an pursuits. The noise
of the shoemaker's .lammer was too
much for her delicate org inization , and
s ic would awaken Loid L from his
blissful Blumbcrs, oftentimes at the veiy
jiointofa happy consu nmitlon of his
dreams, bjf reminding him of that hor
rid noise in t'jc rear. Lord L was
phlegmatic and foggy, by no means a
savant, though an intense admirer of
Lady L , who was talented. He pos
sessed none of the rjpellant discriuiina
t on of his lady, and would have prefer
red the society of some clever represen
tative of Billingsgate to that .f a minis
ter of the Church of England. But, as
we have said, ho behoved impliedly in
Lady L , and nything calculated to
annoy that most excellent lady, must be
removed at any cost. Of course, after
consuming the night, and three or four
hours of tho morning, in the enjoyment
of patrician pleasures, it was absolutely
necessary to Lady L , whose brilliant
talents wero perpetually on tlic sttcten
during those intoxicating moments,
that bIic should have the privilege of
commanding a few moments of undis
turbed quiet out of the twenty-four
houis allotted to the day, without suf
fering the inalienable prctogatives of
her nobility to be disturbed by a vulgar
and designing cordwainer.
Loid L and his lady had returned
about lour in fie morning from the re
ception oi the distinguished Duchess of
, his lordship being in a ulisslul
stat3 of semi-unconsciousness from the
potent effects of certain wines of m tr-
vellous antiquity, and her ladyship
highly charged with the brilliant bon
niots which had fallen like pearls from
the eloquent lips of a distinguished
savant, whose errat'c disposition inclin
ed him to a suit ot apartments, mciud
ing one room upon tlic uttic floor. But
scarcely had Lady L resigned her
self luxuriously to the nrms of ii.orpheus
when she was suddenly recalled to the
vulgar realities of a practi al existence
bv that everlasting thumping of the
father of eight children, in the rear.
She gave Lord L a sharp punch
in the ribs, which aroused him in an
instant io that astonishing state o self-
consciousness, whi. h led him to enquire
i.. uu...v..iiui a-SLV, itiougn oolivious
manner
"Lord bless me I Lady L , what's
'he matter? What are you diving at
my ribs for? You have thumped them
now till they are sorer than Balaam's
donkey, Why can't you let a i oji fel
low rest?"
"I really believe, my lord, you would
go to sleep in a hornet's nest, or on the
brink of a crater I" exclaimed her lady
ship, petulantly. "I really wish some
time. I were as ha pily and stupidly or
ganized as you are. I should not be dis
turbed then by th everlasting thump
ing of that horrid creature in the rear."
"Ugh ?" said his lordship, doziug.y ;
"leave me alone this time, and I'll look
to't in the morning."
iSu denly, the rat-a-tat-tat, which had
-ubsule i but a moment betore, now re
commenced with renewed vigor.
"Good heavens?" cried her ladyship,
renewing her manipulations upon the
ribs of his lordship. "I shall positively
get distracted with that odious shoe
maker, unless you pay some further re
gard tj my feelings, and put a stop to
tins perpetual mumping."
"Oi ly be quiet, my lady, and I'll do
P. in tho morning, at whatever cost,"
said my loru.
The fact of it was, our honest shoe
maker, whom the pressing wants of a
large lamily had compelled to rise early
nan commenced tne labors or the dav
shortly after the retirement of Lord
L and his lady, and as the lady hail
not thought pioper to stupify herajlf
with the same potent beverage wliich
nau operated so advantageou-iy upon
the nerves ot his lordship, slumber to
her was of course denied.
On the same day at a later hour, and
agreeable to h'.s promise, Lord L
imid the shoemaker n visit. He found
him still pounding away at his hu able
calling, and they speed. ly. entered into
conversation. His lordship stated his
wile's gnevanccs, and desired to Know
ii he could not wait till a reasonable Lour
in the mornimr before commencing his
labors.
'Ala, my lord, 1 am very poor : and
having tne responsibility or a large fam
lly weighing upon me, am obliged to
work early and late to pay my little rent
here and support them. It is tr ie, if I
had a little money to do with, I should
open n much larger shop in a more fa
vorable locality, and should doubtless
make a vry good thing of it. Bu pov
erty, my lord, is a stern reality that may
not be understood by people m the same
walk of life as your honor."
"Ahem!" Bald his lordship; "how
mucli monej' would it rcquiie to carry
cut these designs ?"
"For five hundred pounds, I might
open a shop and stock it handsomely, in
the very heart of London. In some
more obscure quarter, with advantages
correspondingly less, I might open with
less capital."
"Look horo, my man," said Lord
L , "I am strongly inclined to favor
your enterprise. I will lend you llVs
hundred pound to-day upon the condU
I lions i Biiau dictate to you. in a word,
you shall pay mo back one pound par
j week for this money as long as you live,
land wlan you die.your death shall can

. will y ju accept the money upon those
termi?"
" 1 will, and God bless your lordship
forever, t nd y.ur lordship's lady, audi
may you live a thousand years and be ,
happy, nnd may I live as lotg to repay j
your' exclaimed the deli rhted artisan,
tossing asld the shoe upon which ho I
had been tnumplng a vay all the man- '
lug. " I l ave realized my dream. 1'11

nothing but the nobility G d bless

" Call at the oftlce of my solicitor,
t licit , in an hour, and you shall tin . a
check there for live hundred pounds
nwaitln you!" and he handed him the
address of the
legal Kcntleinpii who
transacted his business. "And hark
ou," said his lords tin, lacctiously,
"When you have bagged the bird, call
at my club-room in Si. Jamui Street.
You will find me there lrom one t.ll
three In tho afternoon." And with
this. Lord L shook oil' the oil r of
leather and doparted.
At the proper hour, Mr. Tubbs, (for
that was the shoemaker's name) called
at th" oflleo cf Lord L 'b scllcltor,

who presently appeared.

"I did," said Tubbs; "and in my
thanks to your honor may you never
grow poorer."
"Leave alone the complaints." said
his lordshid, significantly, "for perhaps
.vou are not acquainted with tho ruled
and regulations of our club."
Ato, my lord, i am out a poor man,
and know but very lit.le beyond my
humble calling."
It is only proper, then," said his
lordship, " that 1 Bhould enlighten you
11' in Lilt, liiiuui iiLituyn iiiiiuu ,o iiviii
that whoever receives t e money shall
sta.d treat, and according to precedent
it tails upon vou. . vou being the receiv
er."
"With all my heart," said Tubbs,
"if you will conduct me to a proper
place lor your lordship."
" That is easily done," replied Lord
L . " We patronize no other place
but the Adclphi, and that, you k..ow
is qut a few steps. Shall we o ."'
" Most assuredly, my lord. I am
quite anxious not to conflict with any
established precedent," said Tubbs
On their arrival at this fashionable
retreat, fubbs enquired of his lord hij
what he would take.
" I always take wine in the after
noon." said Lord L : " shall I take
the liberty to order it lor you ?"
" Do, if you please: lam tin icciHtom
ed as yet to the usages ol good society,'
Baid 'l ubbs.
"Waiter!" cried his lordship, "s
bottle of Champagne de fcjilleiy, and
glasses for two!" They were brought
and placed belore them. upon a polished
slab.
"This, now, is a beverage worthy of
the gods," said Lord L , as he he.pcd
hlmselt to a Rowing bumper. ' Test it
sli Kn.ght, ot the htrap 1 lorget your
name Tubbs."
Tlic bottle was soon despatched, very
much to the exhilaration of Mr. Tubbs
a d his noble patron. The reckoning
was then called lor. and Tubbs discov
ercd that the price demanded for Cham
pagne do cillery was two pounds.
This announcement naturally onornt-
cd like an electric shock upon the nerves
fF Tnl.liq, t,l"iii(jli lw uottloil Mm liill ol

now thatlu had monney at his disposal
in securing the coveted shop in Bond
Street, which had so long haunted him
like the spctrc of a future hope, yet to
come, now nappny realized.
The siio was lined with a choice sc
lection of soles, oi every variety and des
cription, in accordance with Mr. Tubbs's
est judgment, and it was not manv
days before a brisk and profitable trade
was opened, very much to tho deligh
of the aspiring Tubb , who quite natur
ally exhiiitcd nisgratltude for his bene
factor by taking the one pound o the
c ub-room m St. James, in just one week
from the time of his former visit. Hs
enquired tor Lon L , who uppared
soon after, as n t io previous occasion
- "My lord," said Tubbs. "I havo
brought you the pound, ugreeably to
promise, and i dare Bay you will no
hesitate to act upon the precedent ou
gave me a short time ago?"
"And pray wnat was that?" dernan
ded Lo d L .
"Forgive me, your lordship, but '.
think it was to the effect, that ho who
receives the money shall stand treat
and according to precedent it falls upon
you, you being t.iis time bho receiver."
"With all my heart,.'' returned Lord
L , ''if you will name some suitable
place fortiie occasion."
"Willing y, your lordship ; but '.
know of no better place than tin AJel
phi, ami that, you know, is but a few
steps. Shall we go?"
His lor ship saw that ho wns f.iirly
caught, and witli a dolorous look, he
led the way once more to the Adeln i
When they wero seated, he asked the
innocent Tubbs what he would take
"If you will suffer mo to order It,"
saiu Air. Tubus, modestly.
"Do so, by all meuns," replied his
lordship, who was seriously in hopes
unit i lie oroer wouia oo branoy-and
water for two.
"V'aiUr!" cried the excellent Tubbs
Wiih an air of dignity that Btiited the
occasion, " bottle of Chamjiagnc de Sil
leru, nnd glasses for two !"
Lord L accepted tho butt of the
joke, drank his wine, settled tho bill
nnd retire.!.
In nreclselv no woek nftnr. thr irwln.
f itlgablc Tubbs might have seen wend
ing his way from Bond to St. James
with the promissory one nound
His lordship presented himself, but
drew back suddenly on beholding the
amiable Tubbs.
"My lord. I have brought you the one
pound." said tho punctual and ever
grateful Tubbs.
"Look here!" cried Lord L , gruff
ly, "I never saw you before. If you
have a pound for me, you can take it to
tho devil, for al I care !" and he abrupt
ly closed tne door in the astonished
face of Tubbs. ,.r. Tubbs has since
picspered to an extent wliich has al
ready began to warrant a coach-and-four
in tho mind of Mrs. Tubbs; and, though
he has met Lord L a thousand times
since their last visit to the Adelphi,yet,
strange to say, that nobleman has nev
er recognized him eitner in person or
through his solictor. F.omiastac
